Rainbow Connection: Secret Video taken near NYP
Secret Video taken near NYP

I really don’t mind buskers. But in a coun­try where you have to audi­tion before some National Arts Coun­cil panel in order to get a licence to busk, you’d some­times won­der who sits on that panel, and whether, as part of the National Envi­ron­men­tal Agency’s char­ter, if the use of ampli­fiers would auto­mat­i­cally dis­qual­ify you from get­ting a licence.

Or maybe I’m just a lit­tle ol’ skool in think­ing that buskers are sup­posed to be all accoustic/unplugged.

    they aren’t allowed to “use any sound ampli­fi­ca­tion device, other than those that are bat­tery operated.”

    so a shit­load of bat­ter­ies is appar­ently allowed, and those buskers have been using them. i won­der how much money they spend on bat­ter­ies daily…

    and even stranger, this would mean that the body of the guitar/cello/whatever is actu­ally not allowed to be used, cause it is a ‘sound ampli­fi­ca­tion device’.

    don’t ask why. that’s the rule.
